Hi all. Is it normal to have ketones whilst your blood sugars are high, or is it because I'm not well? I've had an ongoing kidney infection for months now. Haven't had ketones, apart from yesterday when I tested my blood and it was 21! Tested my ketones and they were not low, not high, just in...

I'd have no way of getting there. Have no car and no one would be able to take me on that specific day :-(

I agree! They did offer me an earlier appointment at a different hospital (19th April) but it's miles away and I won't be able to get there! So I have no choice other than to wait til 30th may :-( it sucks

Mainly gp yes. Im having my scan at the hospital, but that's it. It seems to me they're not really taking it that seriously. Can't have a scan til 30th may :-( they offered an earlier appointment at a different hospital (19th April) but it means I'd have to travel miles which I can't do!

They checked my liver and they said it's all good... as in no damage. I dunno whether this is affecting it or not though! No, all they asked for was a urine sample, they dipped it, then gave me antibiotics. They didn't press on my stomach or anything. It's frustrating

Thank you. It's quite aching today. I realise the antibiotics won't be working straight away, but it's feeling way more achy than it was about three weeks ago!:(

No, should I? Regarding the scan?

Thank you. Me too haha! Just pressed on my stomach on my right side and it felt uncomfortable! :(

Thank you for the info! Feeling very achy today... was just pressing on my stomach and it definitely hurts when I press on my right side :(

Thanks. It's really aching today. I was just pressing on my right side and it feels really uncomfortable when I do that. Did it on my left side and it's fine [emoji30]

Arugula (I think that's the technical term!) [emoji23] I thought it was the antibiotics but, I finished them last night and have been feeling sick all day. Just only now taken my first one of my fourth dosage! (Does that make any sense!) haha

15 months?! Bloody hell thats a long time! Sorry to hear about that! Yes see that's exactly what I'm feeling - I'm also feeling a little sick - just checked my ketones and I have a trace of ketones - drinking plenty of water. Grrrrr wish I could just do the scan myself haha

I barely eat spinach tbh, I've had a bit of rocket recently but that's only been within the last few weeks! I'll google it though, thank you. The more I read about kidney stones, the more I think I definitely have them. Thanks for all the advice

This is what I was thinking :( I'll have to ring tomorrow as they're closed - have no idea what's going on in my own body!

Thank you. I am starting to think it could be kidney stones. What causes them? Can't believe I have to wait until 30th march to find out! :( just wanna have my scan now. Feeling quite sick again!

I know, it's annoying. I don't wanna be taking more antibiotics if it's not an infection, but at the same time, I don't wanna NOT take them, in case it is :( ahhhhh. I just did my ketones and have a slight trace. That can't be good. Where do I get probiotics from???

Interesting. It's not really a pain, it's more of an ache. Sometimes it's worse, depends on how I'm sitting / standing etc. It's like a dull, achy, niggly feeling. Felt a little sick today too! I just don't know. I always thought kidney stones were more serious - as in way more painful than just...

She only dipped it, she said to ring back on Friday to find out if there's an infection :/ all she said was about the blood and protein etc being in my urine... which I'm guessing isn't good?! Ha. It's in my side. And no unfortunately not :-( it's definitely too long to wait, not really sure...

You'd think I was making this up, right?! [emoji23] went back to the doctors today and she dipped my wee. She said there was protein, blood and sugar in my urine and gave me more antibiotics. (Trimethoprim). She said she doesn't know if I still have an infection, or if I have kidney stones. She...

My side is still slightly aching! Finished my antibiotics yesterday... should it still be aching slightly or is it not normal? [emoji848] I'm going doctors anyway to check it out (basically my second home)
